Dad & I were looking forward to gridding another Roman site (the one we tested 2 weeks ago for 45mins & got 2 hammered, Fibula & 3 Roman Coins). However, when we arrived, we were surprised to see he had just deep ploughed in the fronzen ground. On the positive side its the first deep plough, so when its rolled we will try again.
Decided to try the field next door with a failed Rape Seed crop which was partly ploughed. We split up & tried sniffing out an area, but after 1 hour I decided I would rather brave the ankle breaker Roman Site. Dad agreed, as we had no encouraging signs.
The first run I decided to go down bagged me a 6th Century Saxon Cruciform Brooch (missing its tip)
This encouraged us the wobble on...
After 3 hours, Dad was too tired after trying to protect his weak knee incase it went, so we called it a day;
5 Roman Coins (1 for the album)
Nice Dandy Button
Victorian Padlock - never found the key hole & cover attached.
Roman Fibula (bent but with 6 red enamelled dots)
Georgian/Victorian Brass piece from an old chain field measurement devise (forgot the name)
A good result for the conditions.
